I came to school this morning, but I am kind of wondering why I bothered. The doomsday clock is 2:30 till midnight, the closest it has been since 1953. The EPA is gagged, the State Department was fired, 10 states are criminalizing PEACEFUL protest (N. Dakota authorizes drivers to run over anyone in the road, Missouri says hoods are a misdemeanor ( Read more... )

I am struggling against the urge to call in tomorrow. Loud Guy was pretty bad for the first half of the day, but eventually moved so he wasn't AS in my face. He still didn't do any work, but at least he wasn't shouting "Fewkin' Proownes" every 5 minutes from 4 feet away. But I don't know if I can face that for another day. I mean, I know I CAN ( Read more... )

At work last night I thought that I would write RW/R and tell her it has been a year that we have been writing and I still don't really know anything about her. And I that I would like to know more. And then give her a list of topics to expand upon. Like her funniest story and if that is even a thing you can ask someone for. Or summer camp. Or ( Read more... )

I started a blog series called Worth a Second Look? a while ago. It only has one entry, that for Source Code, a movie I did not HATE when I first watched it, but annoyed me on second viewing. I downloaded Scott Pilgrim on XBOX and started watching the movie again to see how I felt about it in connection ( Read more... )

I watched Source Code when it released and didn't think anything much about it after walking out of the theater. I enjoyed it for the most part, schmaltzy ending aside. Tonight the roommate and I watched it and I realized that I had some major problems with the screenplay. For what it was it was a mostly acceptable way of presenting the story, ( Read more... )

I have never heard such talk of God's plan and His glory until this last month in Iowa. I doubt I heard this much about God at CHURCH CAMP. And it's all in the paper Op-Ed pages. It feels like I live in a giant cult compound ( Read more... )

This is the attitude that I most hate about this library and I will never miss it here as long as I remember THIS is what the patrons were like ( Read more... )

I should not be surprised, but I am a little taken aback by this. There is a paper keeping track of all the holiday weekends we have to work to make sure it is as fair as possible. I was looking at it today, for probably the first time, and thought, "FIVE? That seems a little low for the past 3+ years." So I looked closer and yeah, I don't know ( Read more... )

My parents gave me my old stories written for and about the Elm Street Gang when I was home. I was reluctant to do anything with them because only one is passably readable and the others pretty much embarass me. But they insisted I take them since they had paid $50 to recover them ( Read more... )

Legs hurt so much. I was kandistomping at 2 AM, which hasn't happened at a rave forever. I didn't exactly have fun per se, but I'm glad I went. Hyperfunk and Wheelz were great, headliner was surprisingly awesome, and Cricket wasn't terrible. In pain I hung around for Bouncy who played The Outfield remix so that was good. Left at 3 sharp ( Read more... )
